Whereas this is with nano 'set fill 68'

I had to adjust the fill to one character less in nano than in fold in order for them to produce the same result.  I am guessing the same for vim.

I am more confused now than I was when I just bash scripted replies with quoted text.  However I think we're on the right track if our goal is to make this more compatible with a number of editors, nano being a very good choice for most.

Life is good,
Maurice
